Answer to Question #113779 in Physics for Harish

Question

In a youngs double slit experiment the ratio of light mxima to minina close to the central fringe on the screen is 9:1. The ratio of slit width is

Answer 1

$$\frac{9}{1}=\frac{I_{max}}{I_{min}}=\frac{(\sqrt{I_{2}}+\sqrt{I_{1}})^2}{(\sqrt{I_{2}}-\sqrt{I_{1}})^2}$$

$$\frac{3}{1}=\frac{\sqrt{\frac{I_2}{I_1}}+1}{\sqrt{\frac{I_2}{I_1}}-1}$$

$$\sqrt{\frac{I_2}{I_1}}=2$$

$$\frac{I_2}{I_1}=4$$
